You must inspect the registration, if uploading, processing and registering scans finishes with issues. This is usually due to a failure in registration, i.e. one or more scans could not be connected. You will be notified by an error message in Sphere XG and via email. In this case, you can either click the Adjust registration button on the error notification page, or you can go back to the project draft page and click the
icon. The icon will contain a red dot signaling a registration issue.
Any open issues will also be displayed in a separate section in the project structure view. The colors correspond to the colors in the registration report, see View the Registration Report below.
Clicking the icon in the project draft view table will open the Draft view in the Sphere XG Viewer.
In the draft view, you can inspect the current registration. Changes to the registration itself are not possible, but you can delete scans and import scans if required. If you want to change the registration, click the Edit registration button at the top right. See Edit the Registration of Scans for more information.
The Registration - Inspect page provides various options to view the registered scans and connections, see below.

The overall result of the registration is displayed by the following indicators:
Good registration quality, i.e. the scan alignment is precise. In this case, you can publish the project.

Clicking one of these indicators opens a quality report summary. For a detailed report, click the Show detailed report button.
The quality report is opened. See explanations directly on the quality report page for further information. Hovering the mouse pointer over a connection highlights the connection and the connected scans.
